Hope to Open Kankakee.

Messrs. Darrow and Worden, of Laparte, Ind., will file an action in the circuit court of Marion county against State Auditor Hart to compel him under the act of the legislature of 1897, to sell lands of the Kankakee region which were deeded to the state by the Arkansas swamp land act of 1852. This case will be for the purpose of testing th 3 constitutionality of the law. If it is constitutional, thousands of acres will be thrown on the market for sale and colonization.
